The Invisible Message in our Stained Glass Windows

The Christ Window - The central chancel window contains the figure of Jesus Christ set upon a symbolic form of the cross of redemption and there we see the words "Come Unto Me."

The Father - Above the figure of Christ is placed a symbol of God the Father as the One who blesses. The three extended fingers suggest the Holy Trinity, while the two closed fingers denote the twofold nature of the Son.

Father
Holy Spirity The Holy Spirit - On top is the dove signifying the Holy Spirit, and the Presence of God as hovering over the water at creation, and upon Jesus at baptism, thus incorporating the Host.

St. Matthew - The winged creature with a man's face represents Matthew because his Gospel narrative stresses the incarnation of the Son of God, and His human descent by tracing Jesus' human genealogy. According to Mark, Matthew was the son of Alphaeus and was a tax collector for the Roman government in Capernaum.

 Matthew
St. Mark

St. Mark - The winged creature with a lion's face is the symbol for Mark because his gospel narrative begins with "the voice of one crying in the wilderness," and this suggests the roar of a lion. Tradition says he was martyred at Alexandria.
St. Luke - is symbolized by the ox, the animal of sacrifice, since Luke stresses the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. Luke was a gentile physician, a follower of Christ, and a companion of Paul. The two-volume work, the third gospel and the book of Acts, is attributed to him. Tradition says that he was one of the seventy disciples commissioned by Jesus, that he preached in Bithynai, and that he died at the age of 84 in Boetia. St. Luke

St. John

 St. John - The high-soaring eagle is the emblem of John because in his narrative he rises to the loftiest heights in dealing with the mind of Christ. He is believed to be the "beloved disciple" of the fourth Gospel to whose care Jesus at the crucifixion entrusted his mother. Tradition says that John lived at Ephesus and their died a natural death, the only Apostle who did not die a martyr's death.
